Knit Zebra Pillow At long last, I've finished my nephew's Christmas present (ahem, originally meant as his birthday present in July)!

Each floppy disk used in the paintings has a history and story of its own. It represents the increasing pace of the modern life cycle, where objects are created, used and disposed of quicker than ever. To challenge this notion, as these personal artefacts of life are cast aside, the obsolete are now given new life and a renewed purpose by using them as a medium for art.[via Share Some Candy]Read this article | Comment on this article blog.craftzine.com |
